Forward messages to other users
Like
Email forwarding generically refers to the operation of re-sending an email message delivered to one email address to one or more different email addresses.The term forwarding, used for mail since long before electronic communications, has no specific technical meaning,[1] but it implies that the email has been moved "forward" to a new destination.
Email forwarding can also redirect mail going to a certain address and send it to one or more other addresses. Vice versa, email items going to several different addresses can converge via forwarding to end up in a single address in-box.[clarification needed]

Allow customizing GitLab login button
Currently, the GitLab login button just says "GitLab". It would be helpful to be able to modify it to refer to an organization-specific gitlab instance.

preserve manually set DND, AWAY and OFFLINE status
Currently, whenever I refresh the browser tab, the status goes from /any/ to online. Also, If I open a permalink (we use it often to reference discussions over features) the status changes to online.
It would be nice to leave the status as it was, if it was set manually. Especially the DND status should be preserved.

Implement ~{channel_name} Feature for Private Channels and Direct Messages
The current ~{channel_name} feature only works for public channels.
As of now, users are able to obtain the URL of the private through the "View Info" feature.
Another option is to right click the room name on the channel list and click "Copy Link".
It will be good to standardize the feature across all types of channels to for a better user experience.

Pause GIFs in background
It would reduce resource usage and distraction if mattermost (like e.g. telegram) would pause GIF playbacks while the app is in background.

Make CMD+Enter work as a shortcut for saving an edited message.
Currently, when people have "Send messages with CMD+Enter", this shortcut does not work in the message editing window and people have to save their edited messages with a mouse click.
I propose the message editing window to behave the same as the message sending box works.Originally submitted as a bug: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/14934

Add the ability to retrieve an archived private channel with admin permissions
I would like to be able to archive private channels that are no longer in use once a project collaboration is complete but also be able to retrieve that channel if the project reopens or as a means to preserve corporate knowledge and lessons learned for similar projects in the future. Currently, even if you are an admin for a channel, once you archive it, you cannot search for the channel or unarchive it.

Improve iOS share extension
The current share extension is pretty buggy.
1) It use a modal instead of a dismissible sheet which has been deprecated in iOS 13
2) It's too small when you are part of multiple teams, so you always need to scroll
3) When sharing from Safari, it often say "To share you need at least 1 character in your message" for no reason5 votes -
Sort joinable public channels by activity
When there are many public channels to join, many are defunct. New users cannot distinguish these from active channels in the More Channels modal. It would be nice to see the most active channels first, see some measure of how active each is, and perhaps see how many people are in each channel.

Add 'Mark Read' option in right click of Channel(or Group) to clear notification icon
I suggest to have 'Mark read' option for any Channel in Mattermost.
There may have few groups which are integrated to get notification of JIRA updates or Jenkins to build status. Loads of messages are received there and one will see notification icon until one open that channel.
It will be great if Mattermost provides 'Mark Read' kind of function to clear particular channel notifications without opening channel chat.
I would recommend having this as a right-click option of a channel.

Add option to show nickname or username (never real name)
There's no way to show the nickname or the username (if no nick is set)
- In Account Settings -> Display -> Teammate Name Display
You can choose to see the username, the first and last names or nickname falling-back to First and Last name, but there's no one to give priority to nickname over the username.
So, add an item such as "Show nickname if one exists, otherwise show username"
In the way that the first and last names are never shown, unless required.

Add the team name to any notification emails
Please add the team name to any notification emails sent by MM. While we have few teams with common channel names, it is really confusing from email body which team it is.

Add second password box for confirmation when resetting via "Forgot Password"
After clicking "Forgot my password" and using the email link to reset, there is only a single box to enter a new password. A second confirmation box would be helpful to ensure no typos happen when entering the new password.

Clearer notification for plugin upload failure (size limit)
I was receiving a generic "Received invalid response from the server" messages when trying to upload the BigBlueButton plugin. I eventually discovered that it was because the Maximum File Size was configured to 5MB.
A clear message stating either what the "invalid response" was or flagging the issue as "too large of a file" size would be less generic and easier to troubleshoot.

Make team switch shortcut configurable
Please, make the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+number for switching teams configurable.
Since the update, which brought this feature earlier this year, I'm unable to use the Mattermost Windows app, because I'm using czech programmers keyboard, which uses CTRL+ALT+numbers to type czech characters.
Typing is automatic process and it's not really possible to avoid typing czech characters this way. It's not a solution to re-learn typing because of Mattermost or switching keyboards before typing.3 votes -
Username text color configurable
In the Center Channel area, be able to configure a "Username Text Color" separate from "Center Channel Text" . This could improve readability when using compact mode.

Make 'reply to last message in a channel' a default option
Enable the ability for a user org/admin to make 'reply to the last message in a channel' the default option when starting a new message, so threads are the default for a conversation. This could perhaps also be optionally limited to replies that explicitly start with or contain an 'at-mention' of the handle of the creator of the original post.
